Second man arrested in connection with Harvard shooting
By Athena Y. Jiang
Harvard Crimson, Harvard
June 10, 2009

New York resident Blayn Jiggetts, 19, was arrested just before midnight Tuesday in Manhattan in connection with the fatal shooting in Harvard University's Kirkland House last month, the Boston Globe reports.

Jiggetts is the second man to be charged with the murder of Cambridge resident Justin Cosby, 21, who was shot in the basement of the Kirkland annex on May 18 after a failed drug rip, according to prosecutors. Cosby was found with about $1,000 in cash and a pound of marijuana on or near his person.

Jiggetts is expected to appear at a rendition hearing in New York City today to face charges of murder, accessory after the fact of murder, unlawful possession of a firearm, and armed robbery.

The first individual charged, Jabrai J. Copney, 20, is currently being held without bail after pleading not guilty at his arraignment in Cambridge District Court last month. A third suspect remains at large.
